SCALBLN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SCALBLN(3)

NAME

     scalbn, scalbnf, scalbnl, scalbln, scalblnf, scalblnl - multiply float-
     ing-point number by integral power of radix

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>
     double scalbln(double x, long int exp);
     float scalblnf(float x, long int exp);
     long double scalblnl(long double x, long int exp);
     double scalbn(double x, int exp);
     float scalbnf(float x, int exp);
     long double scalbnl(long double x, int exp);
     Link with -lm.
 Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
     scalbln(), scalblnf(), scalblnl():
            _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
                || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
     scalbn(), scalbnf(), scalbnl():
            _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
                || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
                || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

     These  functions multiply their first argument x by FLT_RADIX (probably
     2) to the power of exp, that is:
         x * FLT_RADIX ** exp
     The definition of FLT_RADIX can be obtained by including <float.h>.

RETURN VALUE

     On success, these functions return x * FLT_RADIX ** exp.
     If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
     If x is positive infinity (negative infinity), positive infinity (nega-
     tive infinity) is returned.
     If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
     If the result overflows, a range error occurs, and the functions return
     HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF, or HUGE_VALL, respectively, with a sign  the  same
     as x.
     If  the  result  underflows,  a  range  error occurs, and the functions
     return zero, with a sign the same as x.

ERRORS

     See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an  error
     has occurred when calling these functions.
     The following errors can occur:
     Range error, overflow
            An overflow floating-point exception (FE_OVERFLOW) is raised.
     Range error, underflow
            An  underflow floating-point exception (FE_UNDERFLOW) is raised.
     These functions do not set errno.

VERSIONS

     These functions first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.

ATTRIBUTES

     For  an  explanation  of  the  terms  used   in   this   section,   see
     attributes(7).

CONFORMING TO

     C99, POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES

     These  functions  differ  from  the  obsolete  functions  described  in
     scalb(3) in the type of their second argument.  The functions described
     on this page have a second argument of an integral type, while those in
     scalb(3) have a second argument of type double.
     If  FLT_RADIX equals 2 (which is usual), then scalbn() is equivalent to
     ldexp(3).
